    I can't find a photo online of another jeep in the year range that has this kind of front seat. We just got the jeep this past weekend....

    They sure don't look OEM to me..... But what's under the covers? I see a kind of pattern underneath that looks more OE.... They look to have modified the seat brackets to fit the seats as well also indicating the seats are not OE.

    looks like somebody took old golf cart seats and threw then on some semblance of a stock frame

    Crap, I don't know how I messed that up and posted in the wrong forum.

    Thanks for the replies! I was pretty surprised that they got he sliding channels to work on the current set up. They are definitely not setup on oem seat pans.

    Thanks!

    I like the arm rest...

    Have they been re-covered?

    Were they painted white when they painted the Jeep...

    Nope they have not been recovered and they are the original color, definitely not spray painted. The pans in the front if the seats are completely rusted out.

    I think I have found my replacement seats. Either a pair of lowbacks from a 77 wagoner or a pair of low backs from a 68 G20 van. I'm awaiting some measurements!
